Gunther Steinmetz, Riesling GG Detzemer Maximiner Klosterlay "Limited Edition", 2024
Long before it was a vineyard, the Maximin Klosterlay in Detzem belonged to the Benedictine monks of St. Maximin, who knew a great slope of blue slate when they saw one. This is Stefan Steinmetz's dry Grosses Gewachs from that grand cru site, a limited-edition bottling aged in a second-use 300-liter barrel that lends it a creamy, generous texture. It's a dry Riesling with real presence: stony and savory, but rounded and inviting rather than austere. A monastery's old slope, reimagined by one of the Mosel's sharpest young minds.
